## What the quiz covers

Each run draws one question from each of these ten topics, from the conventions that make telemetry comparable to the tools that build and transform it.

Semantic conventionsAttribute and span names, and the stability rules that make telemetry comparable across services.

SDKs and zero-code instrumentationConfiguring providers, processors, and exporters, and what agents and automatic instrumentation add.

Traces and contextSpans, span kinds, and how context propagates across process boundaries.

MetricsInstruments, temporality, aggregation, and views.

LogsThe log data model, bridges from existing logging libraries, and correlation with traces.

The CollectorReceivers, processors, exporters, and how pipelines move data through them.

OTTLThe OpenTelemetry Transformation Language for filtering and reshaping telemetry in the Collector.

SamplingHead and tail sampling, and what each one trades away.

WeaverDefining, validating, and generating code from semantic convention registries.

otelcCompile-time, zero-code instrumentation for Go.
